It’s just a fun compilation of different characters dying because they were unlucky enough to step foot in the cursed house. - more or less that’s the plot.

If this is your first Ju-On movie, you won’t get much history and background of the curse and how it was born. There are some hints, but they do not serve as a cohesive set up for the story. That said, I strongly believe we don’t need that here.

In horror less often means more, especially if we talk about the supernatural. The harder the story tries to explain things, the more convoluted and boring it gets. I appreciate how we get none of that here. Just a creepy lady with a creepy meowing kid killing people because they are pissed about their crap life. That kid… personally scared me more than the pro yoga mother rolling down the stairs.

It’s short, but effective for a midnight watch in a dark room.
